I think you'll find it's not optional ....

Would strongly recommend you change the spur sprocket for a rim setup.

Crank problems were with the 261 not the earlier 260. Possibly clutch springs, a new clutch and drum is not the end of the world. A very reliable saw worth a bit of TLC.

Technically I think you'll find it's actually just a dog's dinner.

Bought a couple of these kits from HIS Inverness . They were selling them for £49 + vat, a real bargain. It certainly cheered up my MS260.

This is just another totally pointless oil thread exactly like the hundreds of other oil threads , which had you read, might have stopped you posting yet another one. I don't care what saw you use it's all been covered before.

Where exactly are you getting this crap from?

Unfortunately, the ms250 and ms261 have different bar mounts so the bar wouldn't fit.

Just checked the date on the Stihl Ultra bottle two thirds used in the garage it appears to be 2012 and still seems to be doing its job ok. Never gave a thought to an expiry date.

I'm guessing half the oil lying in the stores of dealers is more than 5 years old before it's sold.

Bin the crap and bite the bullet.

Have you tried smearing it with delicious Husqvarna Dipping oil? I find it very efficacious in most circumstances.

Sorry I thought you meant Husqvarna Dipping Oil ---- Delicious!

Looks more like an A77.

I don't care.
